There is always a cost As Leon pointed IDE button clickers are now called
Software Engineers
What happens when a requirement comes along which is not acomodated by
clicking 2 buttons?
The entire project comes to an immediate HALT..the child prodigy sheepishly
walks into his bosses office
and cries he cannot do it since the IDE does not accomodate this feature..it
is time to call the 'dreaded consultant'
The forgotten rule of Extensibility means that however you build your app
you must always be able to take on any features and functionality that the
client may desire
Always best to Read/update and understand the caveats of the requirements
doc carefully before pushing *any* limited scoped solution into production..
Those who remember rolling your own customised solution know this is a lost
artform

One major problem lies with how programmers are educated
today. A lot of schools teach a language or a design
philosophy but rarely are in-depth enough to actually breed
the abstract skills necessary for the programmer to become
useful. It's a shame, really. I went to college in
1986 (and had been programming since 1978) and within a few
years of my graduation in 1990 the curriculum at most schools
had been watered down to the point of near uselessness.
Well, make a stop... You can't compare things programmed back in the Dark
Ages with nowerdays programming.
We make far more complicated programms in far less time and for lesser
cost.
You can critisize overusage of patterns, but under-usage of patterns is
clearly at least as bad.
Patterns make code understanding simplier, because everyone (should) know
them, and
simplicity is the goal as many of us stated before.
You can't reinvent the wheel each time you write a piece of code, it's
simply waste of your time and customers/companies money.

Leon
